    WordPress Origin Story

    I’ve been building websites for a living since the pioneering days of the mid-90s – it was our generation’s ‘rock n roll’. I watched with horror as it entered its ‘prog rock’ phase. But open source was like punk, an antidote to the exorbitant extravagance of corporate CMS development. Just as punk made it OK for four people with more passion than talent to take the stage, so WordPress empowered people like me to do remarkable things on the front end, without knowing too much about the nasty stuff below the hood. It was liberating, and I never looked back.
